Full Preview of the Park 13 Combo Topper Released

WDWNT on October 31, 2013

November 22nd continues to be a jam-packed release day, as the Official Vinylmation Blog revealed yet another figure that will release on that date.  Today we got a full preview of the Park 13 combo topper, and it features the mouse from Mickey Magnificent, an attraction at Magic Kingdom.  This topper was designed by Maria Clapsis, and will release at the parks and online for $24.95 each.  Take a look at the preview:

Another great topper to add to the collection, this one features two accessories, a top hat and cane.  I also love the cunning expression on Mickey’s face.  Definitely one of the stronger combo toppers we’ve seen in a while.  And the bunny on the hat is a nice touch.  What do you guys think? Will you be picking this one up?

Upcoming ‘Frozen’ Olaf and Variant Previewed

WDWNT on October 31, 2013

Today, the Official Vinylmation Blog posted a preview of the Limited Edition Olaf figure being released.  Olaf is the snowman from the upcoming film “Frozen”, and like Gusteau, this LE release appears to be coming in a blind box with the possibility of pulling a  variant.  Designed by Maria Clapsis with an LE of 2500, these will release online and in parks on November 22nd for $16.95 each.  Take a look at the previews below:

This first design is the normal “wintertime” Olaf.  The odds of pulling him are 9/10, so there are 2250 total of these guys.

This design is the “summertime” variant.  The odds of pulling him are 1/10, so like the Gusteau variant, there are only 250 total of these guys floating around.

Which design do you guys like more? Without having seen the film yet, I think I like the “wintertime” Olaf more, as that is the image of him that I’m familiar with.  All of this can change after Frozen comes out.  I also really like the use of the clear in the arms, it adds a little more depth.  And of course, the expressions are priceless.  Will you guys be picking this guy up?

Full Photos of the Upcoming Frozen Two-Pack Released

WDWNT on October 31, 2013

The Official Vinylmation Blog released full 360 degree photos of Anna and Elsa today, the two vinylmation figures included in the Frozen two-pack.  The vinyls were designed by Maria Clapsis, are LE 1500, and will release both at parks and online on November 22nd for $29.95.  Take a look at the designs below:

I think these designs, like most of Maria’s work, look fantastic.  While I am not attached to these characters yet, I have high hopes for this movie, and will probably want to add them to my collection eventually.  I love all of the little details, from the snowflakes on the gloves, to the braided hair, to the girly expressions on their faces.  Will you guys be picking this two-pack up?

Pixar Series 2 Leaked Product Shot

The news keeps trickling in today, as Vinylmation Exchange member Stevan Agbaba posted the first image of the physical Pixar series #2 vinyls.  We got a sneak peak of this set at Reflections of Evil, and now we can finally see how detailed some of the figures are.  Take a look:

 

Some of these figures are straight winners, as I love Dory, Boo, and Mr. Pricklepants.  Emile, and Alpha are great representations, but a tad plane.  Same goes for Dot, and the jury is still out on Elastigirl for me.  I think this is a great follow up to the first Pixar series, and the Disney Store crew have done a great job with these designs.  What are your guys thoughts? Any ideas for the Chaser?

Today, the official Vinylmation blog posted an article revealing the Urban Redux 2 Chaser. Take a look at the vinyl below:

Thomas Scott designed this figure, and I absolutely love it. I hope that’s the image he thinks of all of us collectors, be it at a trading event, a signing event, or anywhere on social media. We all love Vinylmation, and this is a wonderful tribute. It also sports an interesting color scheme that I love. Now that we have the chaser revealed, any ideas on variants? Maybe there will be a variant chaser in the set!!! Let us know what you think!!
